FROM THE DESK OF:
SOLOMON BENTLEY...
Well folks, TOUKON ROAD is off to the races and the action is set to hit Hong Kong in just a matter of days. Unfortunately, the tour has also hit its first snafu. It seems that Frank Dylan James has a previous date in the House of Strong Style's annual heavyweight tournament that he is bound to honor.
In his place, it looks like we'll see "Mr. Meiji" Masayoshi Arimoto formerly of Shining Road Pro-Wrestling fame step up and take his spot. Arimoto recently lost a close match to AJ Knight in the Royal Road Championship Tournament and is apparenty eager to get back on the winning page, but it won't be easy against "Demon Lord ZENKI and "Cold Veteran" Toru Ishii.
In other news, the reaction to the Royal Road Tournament has been extremely pleasing to management. All eyes were on Shinjiro Nakama's surprise entrance and native stars such as GRIM and Tokyo Zombie coupled with popular gaijin draws in James Edwards, Alexander Irvine, and Knight have the wrestling community buzzing.
Management is also impressed that the Dojo's top two fighters, Umetaro Sakamoto and Hiro Minamoto, have made such progress in their development. The two students in an interview thanked the tutelage of former MAX Heavyweight Champion and current Lead Instructor Mike Musket for helping them make a big leap in a short amount of time. Minamoto was also quick to point out that training with "the Pale General" Go Gensai set him up to endure Musket's grueling training regimen, which has taken the students outside of Tokyo and into the mountains to train.
But can the two students advanced past the quarterfinals? The Royal Road ahead is sure to be tough for all of the fighters!
